Cardinals organization roster matrix: 2014 spring training

NOTE: As of 4/3/14, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current. It reflects the changes from the start of 2014 spring training until the opening of the minor league season. It should now be considered a historical reference document. For the active roster matrix for the 2014 regular season, click here.

With minor leaguers reporting to Jupiter, Florida for spring training, it is time for another refresh of the St. Louis Cardinals system roster matrix. This version will reflect the changes made from the start of 2014 spring training until the opening of the regular season. The previous matrix reflects the rosters as they evolved from the conclusion of the 2013 season through the entire 2013-2014 off-season.

If you are new to the blog and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is quick summary:

As 2014 spring training opened, the St. Louis Cardinals had 273 players under contract from top to bottom, including 39 players on the 40-man roster. The latter are called out in bold. The matrix places all 273 at his assigned level in the system as well as by position. It is kept updated daily or as transactions occur.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization.

Don’t be concerned about the order of the players’ names within a team. It has no relative significance.

Note that the 25-man roster for St. Louis and any other club is not in place during the off-season. Players generally remain on the rosters at which they finished 2013. Pay more attention to which camps players are assigned.
